The family-friendly event features an array of guest speakers, demonstrations, vendors, displays and a food court.

Specialists in food storage, sanitation, water storage, herbal first aid and infection control will share their vast knowledge base with residents. Experts will help participants learn how to develop family plans for use during an emergency and to better understand the role of the local Red Cross during a community-wide, natural disaster.

Additional topics include personal safety, alternative power sources, health care and hospice needs, along with communication resources during an emergency.

This free event showcases a wide variety of need-to-know information for residents who want to help themselves be prepared for an actual emergency situation.
